Fred Wilson Explains Why He Wouldn’t Invest In Groupon Or Pandora
- mbesto 16y agoLinkbaited again! Therefore derailing comment ahead... This is what happens when you make a headline for an article, put a video in it, mislead the answer with a bunch of garbled text and then expect people to draw conclusions about it. Everyone's first inclination from the headline is "OMG what does Fred see in Pandora/Groupon that I don't?!" Don't believe me, look at the first few comments of the article. Save yourself the time and read the TL;DR "I don't invest in those companies because we only invest in companies that have a large network of engaged users". And this, my friends, is how you turn a question with a one sentence answer into ad revenue. Go AOL!
- necrodome 16y agoThis is why i read hn comments first when i see techcrunch anywhere in the title.
- athom 16y agoThis is why I read hn comments first, period. Always seemed the best way to find out if a link's worth even following. Of course, I guess that wouldn't work if everyone did it that way...
